Book Reviews of Fountain and Tomb: Hakayat Haretna (Three Continents Press)
Book Review: Wonderful but confusing to some level
Summary: 4 Stars
The entire freshman class at a Richmond Governor's school was required to read this book. Don't get me wrong, it is a WONDERFUL book with all of its vignettes and how they all paint a picture of an alley being like a family. It is just so confusing in some points. Some stories are pointless and don't add to the overall story. You never find out the narrator's name. Sometimes the narrator is telling the stories as a child, or as an adult look back on childhood, and it jumps around these two views quite often. Other than the slight confusing, this book is a great quick read and can be interpreted in quite a few different ways. I reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading at all.
